Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Ray Horton is the favorite to become the next defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns. Horton interviewed for the position Tuesday, Jan. 19. Horton ran the defense in Cleveland in 2013.

Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Ray Horton has not received permission to interview for the Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator job and is talking with the Titans about remaining with the team. It was reported that Horton was upset with the Titans after he was not hired as the head coach and was looking to move to the Browns, but Horton disputed that report.

Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Ray Horton will remain on the staff as the team's defensive coordinator, however assistant head coach/defense Dick LeBeau is expected to run the defense, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Fantasy Tip: The Titans defense was pretty sorry last season, so they can use all the help they can get. LeBeau is a great coach, and he will help Horton and head coach Ken Whisenhunt tremendously. But even he cannot help them unless they improve their personnel dramatically.
